alot of shops dont do SS, its hard to bend, and extrememly expensive. this shop on concord might be able to, but i know they dont have a mandrel bender. they are extremely expensive.

if your looking for mandrel bent stainless steel, kits are your best option (SLP or id prefer borla if you can find one) problem is, 2.5" mandrel, despite what some people say, is to big for a 170hp car. say bye to torque (loss in exhaust velocity) unless your doing major mods (forced induction)

i doubt a shop would do mandrel 2.5" if they had it, its VERY tricky to get the exhaust over the rear suspension, and they dont want to waste money trying to fit a pipe that tight. most wont even try to pressure bend a 2.5" around that. 2.25" is what they all say they'll do, but thats all thats needed anyways
